INTRODUCTION 1.1. As per P02 Admissions Process section 7.2 students who are admitted into PBC courses are required to meet a number of Personal and Spiritual requirements (as reproduced below) and these are expected to be reflected throughout the duration of studies at PBC. PSC Student Code of Conduct 1
2 1.2. The Student Code of Conduct is in place to ensure that: Students of PBC remain faithful to the PBC Statement of Faith Students of PBC remain faithful to the ethos of PBC PBC s position on acceptable and non-acceptable conduct is outlined Students and Staff of PBC are respected and treated fairly and justly There is transparency to the process related to issues of student misconduct The integrity and reputation of PBC is upheld and maintained in both the Christian and wider community The Student Code of Conduct applies to all students enrolled in a course or unit at PBC. In the case of students completing units as part of principle enrolment at another institution or organisation, all breaches of the code will be referred to the principle institution or organisation (e.g. students completing units under an MOU) Breaches of the Student Code of Conduct will be dealt with on a case by case basis, using this document to guide the process 2. ETHOS OF PBC FOR CONDUCT 2.1. As per PBC s Statement of Faith we believe The Holy Scriptures as originally given by God, divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy; and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct. This belief underpins the ethos of PBC in relation to expected conduct PBC affirms the injunctions of the New Testament as the inspired direction for the conduct that would be expected of both students and graduates of PBC by the wider Christian community; both during their training and in relation to their viability as potential employees PBC affirms that the Christian character outlined in the New Testament is holistic in its outlook on conduct, meaning that the conduct of PBC students is not confined to conduct on Campus or during college activities, but at all times that a student continues to be enrolled in a PBC course (which includes mid semester and end of semester breaks)(e.g. 1 Tim 3:1-13; Titus 1:5-9). PSC Student Code of Conduct 2
3 2.4. PBC affirms the New Testament injunction that as the potential future leaders within the Christian community students should be seeking to set an example for others within that community (e.g. 1 Cor 10:33-11:1; Phil 3:12-4:1; 1 Tim 4:11-12) PBC affirms the New Testament injunction that Christian conduct should be mindful of others and although a conduct may be permissible, it may be better to refrain from it for the sake of another (e.g. Rom 14:13-15:6; 1 Cor 8 & 10:23-32) PBC affirms the New Testament injunction that Christian conduct should be so that even possible accusations of misconduct are avoided where ever possible (e.g. 1 Tim 3:1-12; Titus 2:7-8; ) 3. PENALTIES FOR BREACHES 3.1. PBC affirms the New Testament injunction that issues of misconduct fall under a pastoral care framework which seeks the restoration of those involved and the building up and protection of the wider community (1 Cor 5:1-12 & 2 Cor 2:5-11; Gal 6:1-7; 2 Thess 3:13-15). As per P25 Pastoral Disclosure policy, PBC may contact the nominated church of the student PBC seeks in the investigation of student misconduct and implementation of this process in the event student misconduct to work towards a resolution in such a way that there is minimal impact on both the student and the wider college community All breaches of the Code of Conduct will require the determination of a path of restoration. The path of restoration is determined by the category of breach as determined below. The determination of the category of breach considers the breach itself, mitigating circumstances, ongoing risk to the college or wider community, the well-being of other students directly impacted by the breach, the well-being of the student, and the response of the student Category A In the case of a Category A breach the path of restoration will include a minimum suspension of 1 semester and may include expulsion from the college. In these cases the college would determine any minimum timeframe and conditions required to be demonstrated for a student to re-apply for admission to the college. Examples which may result in a Category A determination include but are not limited to: sexual assault, physical assault, severe verbal assault or vilification, fraud or fraudulent claims made against a PBC student or staff member, blackmail, repeated breaches of the code or any incident requiring reporting to or the intervention of the police Category B In the case of a Category B breach the path of restoration will include a short-term suspension (up to 2 weeks) and may include a longer term suspension (up to 1 semester). The student s course standing will become provisional and the college will determine any conditions required to be met for resumption of studies. Failure to meet these conditions may result in the category of the breach being re-determined. PSC Student Code of Conduct 3
4 Category C In the case of a Category C breach the path of restoration will not include a suspension or expulsion of the student. A Category C determination will only exist where ongoing risk to the college or wider community is very low and it is in the best interests for the well-being of the student to not be separated from the college community through suspension. The student s course standing will become provisional and the college will determine any conditions required to be met for restoration and continuing studies. Failure to meet these conditions may result in the category of the breach being re-determined. 4. CODE OF CONDUCT 4.1. PBC affirms that the New Testament injunctions establish a standard of conduct for the Christian community which may differ from those of the wider community. (e.g. Rom 12:1-Gal 6:16-26; Phil 2:12-18; Col 2:20-3:17; Eph 4:17-5:5; 1 Peter 2:12). As PBC is part of the Christian Community, it is appropriate that the required code of conduct reflects the expectations of that community Respect: All students should advocate and practice respect for all people Tolerance: All students should demonstrate tolerance towards those who may hold differing opinions or positions. The student handbook also includes a section related to tolerance Honesty: Students should conduct themselves in such a way as to uphold their integrity. They should practice honesty in their dealings with all other parties Harassment: At no time should a student engage in behaviour which is of a harassing nature. This can include but is not limited to: sexual innuendo, bullying, joking at the expense of others, name calling or labelling, etc. The student handbook also includes a section related to equal opportunity and harassment Discrimination: At no time should a student engage in activities which seek to separate and exclude students based on derogatory discrimination. Discrimination can be appropriate in certain circumstances, where the discrimination is not intended in a derogatory manner towards those excluded (e.g. a male or female prayer group). If a student is uncertain, they should discuss the activity and the basis for exclusion with their Growth Group Leader. Students should seek to be as inclusive of all as possible. The student handbook also includes a section related to equal opportunity and harassment Physical Intimidation & Violence: Students should not use physical intimidation or violence in their interactions with others. Students should not respond with physical intimidation or violence even if they believe they have been provoked by others Drunkenness: PBC recognises that alcohol consumption is a matter on which each student must make their own decision. However, drunkenness is not tolerated. Students who do decide to consume alcohol should do so in PSC Student Code of Conduct 4
5 moderation and in a responsible manner. Alcohol is not permitted within the boundaries of the campus Illicit Drugs: PBC does not tolerate the use of illicit drugs or the misuse of prescription drugs Sexual Purity: PBC affirms the New Testament injunction that sexual activity should be constrained within the covenant of marriage. Marriage is considered by the College as being between a man and a woman. Students should maintain their sexual purity in this regard. Outside of the covenant of marriage, students should seek to maintain relationships which respect PBC s definition of marriage, and seek to uphold the sexual purity of others Pornography: PBC does not tolerate the use or distribution of pornography. Using college facilities to distribute or create pornographic materials would be considered as a serious breach of this code of conduct Use of PBC name and Logo: The PBC name and logo should not be used by a student in any formal capacity without the permission of the College Principal. This may include but is not limited to: advertising materials, production of products (e.g. t-shirts, mugs), creation of online groups, etc. This does not restrict students from using the PBC name in expressing their opinions, in the case of free speech, but students must not give the impression they are representing the College without permission Social Networking Websites: Students should apply the other areas of conduct in their use of social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter Dress: PBC students should seek to dress in a culturally appropriate manner which would not be construed as offensive (such as in t-shirt slogans/print) or overtly sexually provocative. 5. REPORTING AND RECORDING OF MISCONDUCT 5.1. Reports of misconduct can be received either verbally to any member of staff or via a written submission to the Principal Students reporting misconduct should not remain anonymous, although, the source of the allegation will, if possible, not be disclosed to the accused party Both the party or parties raising the allegation and the accused party should be informed in writing of the outcome of the investigation and the resultant required actions or penalties In the cases of established misconduct, a record of the incident and any relevant penalty will be placed on the students file All suspended or expelled students will have a notification of being suspended or expelled on any supplied transcripts whilst the suspension or expulsion is in place. 6. PROCESSING A MISCONDUCT ALLEGATION 6.1. Allegations of misconduct are referred to the Principal 6.2. PBC will never discourage a student from reporting any incident to other authorities as the student feels appropriate. PSC Student Code of Conduct 5
6 6.3. PBC will meet the expectations of the wider community in the case of accusations which would fall under the need for mandatory reporting to appropriate authorities The Principal may appoint an Investigation Committee of three members of senior staff, to investigate the allegation The Principal or the Investigation Committee will investigate the matter further and decide on the appropriate course of action dependant on the process of establishing that a breach has occurred, and the severity of the breach The Principal or the Investigation Committee should seek to allow the accused party or parties to respond to allegations before seeking a wider investigation of the allegations. This will allow those accused to present any relevant evidence which may refute the allegations or may respond in a way that means further investigation may not be required. This will result in less impact to the wider college community An appropriate level of confidentiality should be maintained at all times; keeping in mind that any allegations should be substantially verified before any public disclosures of information take place Public disclosures should seek to protect both the student who has been found to have breached the code and the wider college community and should be kept to a minimal level of exposure in both distribution and details. 7. INVESTIGATING A MISCONDUCT ALLEGATION 7.1. All parties involved in an investigation of a misconduct allegation may have a third party at their request present in any interviews. They may also request an interview be ceased at any time if they had not requested the presence of a third party, but in the interview process have decided to request this. The interview would continue once this third party has been arranged The following guidelines should be followed when investigating an allegation of misconduct: In interviewing the reporting party: Carry out the interview in a quiet meeting place where interruptions should not occur Access the level of stress and recommend any additional support measures as necessary (e.g. need for third party, Student Chaplain, rescheduling of interview) Explain your role in the process Explain the Policies and Procedures as required Explain the confidentiality situation Listen to the reporting party explain the issue (take brief notes if appropriate). Verify that you have understood the account via repeating key points If you are unsure that you are the appropriate person to be investigating the disclosed matter you should cease the interview and inform the person that you need to check if you should be PSC Student Code of Conduct 6
